Who doesn’t love free stuff—especially free stuff that doesn’t take up any space in your closet! One of my “rebooted” romantic suspense novels, UNNATURAL RELATIONS, is currently a FREE download at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iBooks.

Full prologues and first chapters of all four of the “Lust & Lies” books can be found on my site, www.marilyncampbell.com but here’s the blurb on the FREE one…

***

After nine years on the run, Barbara Johnson believed she was finally safe. Safe with her little boy, in a new city, with a new name. Safe from the abusive man they had escaped and from the wealthy family with the power to take her child.

Then a savage twist of fate exposes her location. And now those wanting to see her suffer and steal her child are coming, with every trick of the law and every weapon of terror.

Determined to stand her ground, Barbara is swept off her feet by a handsome stranger who saves her from a mugger. The timing couldn’t be worse for falling in love, but Kyle Trent is simply too perfect to push away, and she desperately needs someone in her life who makes her feel desirable again.

As the nightmares of Barbara’s past converge with the burning passion in the present, new secrets arise to remind her no one can be trusted.

I usually try to do something humorous and generally a bit risqué for my posts, as well as relate it in some way to a writer’s life (and I’m gonna do exactly that), but I couldn’t without first acknowledging the horrible tragedy in Connecticut.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of those devastated families whose lives will never be the same.

On Sunday, December 16th at 5:00pm EST, I will be lighting a candle and sending love and prayers out to them and I hope you will take the time to join me…wherever you are.

Individually, lighting a candle may seem like a small gesture, but healing doesn’t happen overnight. It happens in painfully small increments over time.

Similarly…it’s the small gestures—like the glow of a single candle—that offer strength and hope and light in the darkest of times.

Pass this on.

Tweet it.

Share it with your friends on Facebook

Stumble it! Tumble it! Pin it!

…and share it through any other social media groups you might belong to.

Let’s face it—Friday’s shooting has left its mark on ALL of us. It’s left us feeling hurt and helpless and at a loss to comprehend how something like this could happen.

We will probably never know the “why” of it, but it doesn’t matter at this point.

What DOES matter is that we survive it. That we move past the pain and sorrow and most importantly, that we cherish those we love and the time we have with them.

Because ya just never know how much time you have.

So remember…

Candle. 5pm EST, Sunday, 12/16/12. Pass it on!

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programing.

(There’s a BOOK GIVE AWAY and additional FREE READS included in today’s blog, so keep reading!)

Two of my “rebooted” romantic suspense novels can still be downloaded for free or almost free, but they will soon be back up to their original list prices.

Free – UNNATURAL RELATIONS

After nine years on the run, Barbara Johnson believed she was finally safe. Safe with her little boy, in a new city, with a new name. Safe from the abusive man they had escaped and from the wealthy family with the power to take her child.

Then a savage twist of fate exposes her location. And now those wanting to see her suffer and steal her child are coming, with every trick of the law and every weapon of terror.

Determined to stand her ground, Barbara is swept off her feet by a handsome stranger who saves her from a mugger. The timing couldn’t be worse for falling in love, but Kyle Trent is simply too perfect to push away, and she desperately needs someone in her life who makes her feel desirable again.

As the nightmares of Barbara’s past converge with the burning passion in the present, new secrets arise to remind her no one can be trusted.

As Ellery Winters watches her mother’s casket being lowered into the ground, a stranger tells her murder may have been the true cause of death and that the vice presidential hopeful, Abraham Lincoln Jones, could have been involved. In order to uncover the truth, Ellery agrees to go under cover as Jones’ assistant.

Two decades ago, Luke Madigan witnessed a whore gruesomely mutilating her client and has had nightmares of the event ever since. For several years the psychotic hooker, known as “The Eye Doctor”, left a trail of victims, but not enough clues to find her. When she strikes again, Luke determines to put an end to his nightmares, even if it means walking right into the Doctor’s waiting room.

Though they don’t yet realize it, Ellery and Luke have a common goal. Their coming together is fueled by lies and distrust, but seduction and lust ignite a passion that will not be denied despite the deadly danger closing in on them.

Before sharing what the stars have to say to you about May, I have a favor to ask – My romantic suspense of lust, lies & lethal vengeance, PRETTY MAIDS IN A ROW, is now FREE on Amazon! Please download a copy and pass this news on to a friend. And now…

The forecasts below involve two of my passions – astrology and tarot. The first card is a general message, the second is about love & relationships (sexual, romantic, friendly, familial). The interpretations are from my book, “Tarot of The Lotus Circle”, but you’ll have to use a little intuition to determine what it means to you personally. Have fun!

ARIES – March 21 to April 19

7 of Swords: Deception, lies and betrayal are threatening to take over your life. If you are the guilty party, you still have time to clean up your act. If not, ask your Guides to help you see who it is and call in Archangel Michael to protect you. Be careful of a false prophet looking to make a profit from you.

6 of Swords: Someone is offering unconditional, long-term support, but you aren’t madly in love. Give consideration to the value of the solid relationship versus one month of steamy passion. A family member needs your support. Give it without question.

TAURUS – April 20 to May 20

2 of Coins: You are trying to justify your spiritual beliefs with what you were taught as a child. Stop “thinking” and just “feel”. There is a blend you can live with. Remember that you can be good at several things but to be really great, you need to focus on one.

9 of Coins: This is meant to be an enjoyable alone time for you. A mate is out there for you, but this is not the right time. The longer you stay single, the happier and more successful you will be later. If committed, you may realize that you have financial security but live in separate worlds. Stay independent of family for now. Continue reading →

It’s that time again. The time when stockings are stuffed and men are hung.

Preferrably WELL hung and waiting by the fire after the kids are all asleep!

In the midst of all of the holiday hustle and bustle, I thought today would be a good time to remind everyone that it’s OKAY to take some time for yourself to unwind and endulge in the holiday spirit.

Hey! You! Step away from the liquor bottle! I said holiday spirit, not spirits!

Granted, between the general holiday stress, inlaws, outlaws and pepper spray as a means to knock out your competition for hot sale items, the holiday season can drive you to drink–

However, I’d like to offer a safer and more effective way to relieve holiday stress and anxiety.

SEX!

It comes in a wide variety of options that can be enjoyed alone, or in public.

( Seriously… even in public! If anyone notices the big smile on your face as you’re sitting in the food court for a quickie during your holiday shopping, they’ll chalk it up to the “holiday spirit”…or maybe holday spirits. either will work!)

Oh, stop with the shocked gasps! The kids won’t even notice if you’re slick about it and with all the new electronic gadgets to please and tease all ages, they’ll probably think you’re just checking your email, texting, gaming or listening to iTunes!

The truth is, everyone has time to slip in a quickie, even during the holidays, and like I said, sex is a GREAT way to relieve stress!

Joining us to today is NYTimes Best Selling Author Virginia Henley! We are thrilled to have her here and here’s what she has to say about “That beautiful cock” and sooooo much more!

PR (Shannon Emmel): Welcome to Passionate Reads, Virginia! Thanks for taking the time to blog with us!

Virginia: It is a pleasure to blog with you. I was most flattered when you invited me.

PR: I’ve known you and been a fan for years, but for some of our new readers, tell us a bit about YOU…

Virginia: I was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England, and immigrated to Canada where at fourteen I meet my future husband, Art. We’ve been together ever since and now live in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. I have just adopted a rescue dog, a miniature Schnauzer, I call Lily, who was kept in a cage for four years for breeding purposes. She was very frightened, timid, and apprehensive four months ago when I got her. I was determined to spoil her and turn her into a cheeky little bitch. I believe I have succeeded.

PR: You are the mistress of opening with a “hook” that grabs the reader’s attention and then keeping them going all the way to “the end”…

Let’s cut to the chase: “What a beautiful cock!” We want details please!

Hello all! Hope you had a great Super Bowl weekend. Phew! Me? I enjoy the commercials the most, since my beloved Colts weren’t on the field. But now it’s time to switch gears…

Valentine’s Day…it’s coming up soon. 1 week exactly. Are you in the mood for something a little spicy to get you revved up? How about something with less calories than chocolate, and naughtier than a Hallmark card? I’ve got a short Valentine’s Day freebie on my website, just waiting for you to download!

Jill is pissed. For once, she finally has a guy for Valentine’s Day, and he’s stuck in another city because he missed his flight. Unfortunately, Otis doesn’t seem to understand what the big deal is, and lets Jill know. So now she’s with her best gal pals, drowning her sorrows in wine and Oreos.

Otis has been planning this for months. Though he doesn’t pretend to understand his girlfriend’s fascination with being together for Valentine’s Day, he’s prepared to make it the most special night of her life. But will Jill appreciate the surprise? Or will she give him the heave-ho for the deception?
